Few teams have the quickness, speed, skill and depth to overwhelm the Tampa Bay Lightning, which the Pittsburgh Penguins have done through three games of the Eastern Conference finals.

Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and a talented supporting cast that includes the sizzling line of Phil Kessel, Carl Hagelin and Nick Bonino have outplayed the speedy Lightning for significant stretches of each game to gain a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven matchup.

“It’s not something where we’re sitting here saying: ‘Oh, we can’t beat this team.’ We couldn’t beat them in the last two games, and that’s the way we’re looking at it,” Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said.

Tampa Bay won all three regular seasons meetings before taking Game 1 of this series on the road. But the Penguins have outshot Tampa Bay 124-70, a trend the Lightning can’t allow to continue if they expect to win the series. Game 4 is Friday at Tampa Bay.
